If you really want to piss off a Leftist, do one of two things: (1) be good at what you do and (2) be happy with whom you are.
Those are the two reasons that Democrats hate Blacks so much to this day. Because excellence was the Black condition back in the day. Our misery made us excellent at many things, thus we refused to allow our misery to alter our disposition.
Understand that Democrats did everything they could make us angry. They did their damnedest to take away our humanity. But we persevered and trusted in the Lord. We sang old Negro spirituals and laughed behind the backs of our oppressors.
The more we refused to suffer, the more angry Democrats got. They pondered,
“How dare those n*ggers not wallow in the misery we’ve created for them?”
Our misery hardened Black people to become the most resilient group in America. We could withstand anything. Give us your brutality, and we smirked at the notion. The more brutal the adversary, the more galvanized w became, practically impervious to the whims of evildoers.
We marched arm in arm and chanted, “We shall overcome”, because we knew we would.
As white Democrats continued their attempts to vanquish our spirit, Black people built our own communities; strong communities. We created communities that were better than our white counterparts in almost every way. Bustling businesses, low crime, good schools, and so on. We policed ourselves and held ourselves to a much higher standard than even the law good. We held ourselves to God’s standard.
We innovated, because we toiled in the menial jobs. Can you imagine what patents Blacks would hold if we hadn’t gotten side-tracked by white Democrats?
But white Democrats didn’t want us educated. They needed us to stop focusing on education and instead focus on our lack of dignity. White Democrats made certain that we felt the pain of discrimination daily. They relished in showing Black people the depths of man’s inhumanity to man, either with whips or with the constant verbal abuse of their words.
“N*gger”, they would call us. Because to hurt someone, you must label them. So to fight back, Black people embraced the word. We used it against ourselves to take the scorn out of it. We mocked the word. In the end we succeeded in minimizing the sting of the word.
Further, we understood the importance of education as a culture. So we supported the HBCUs. Black people made our academic institutions among the fines. Tuskegee Institute and others gifted the world with Black scientists and other Black scholars. We created some of the world’s greatest thinkers.
White Democrats saw that their efforts to marginalize Blacks had failed, so they implemented a new strategy. The Negro Project would inject turncoats into the Black community as cancers.
The Negro Project was a controversial initiative launched in 1939 by Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, as part of the broader birth control movement. Its stated goal was to provide access to contraception in Black communities, promoting family planning as a way to address poverty and improve public health. Sanger partnered with Black leaders and ministers. They sold the project as a means of reducing maternal and infant mortality rates and giving women more control over their reproductive health.
However, the project has faced criticism for its underlying motives. Some historians argue that it was rooted in the eugenics movement, which sought to control population growth among groups deemed “unfit” or “undesirable,” including Blacks.
Not long after the implementation of The Negro Project, Blacks stopped searching for excellence.
We settled for the mediocrity, and accepted scraps the government as compensation for our souls. We stopped creating excellent families, and pushing for real educations. We traded academics for sports and entertainment. Thus, The new Negro Project minstrels became high-paid Step-n-Fetchits ballers, singers, and actors who do the Democrats’ bidding today.
After decades in darkness, Black Leftists are now beginning to see the light. But at what cost?
